The Xantrex XW SCC solar charge controller can be used with 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60-volt DC battery systems.

Features and General Information

• Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) delivers maximum available power from PV array to battery bank
• Integrated PV ground-fault protection
• Ultra-reliable, convection-cooled design does not require a cooling fan - large, aluminum, die-cast heat-sink allows full output current up to 45°C without thermal derating
• Selectable two or three-stage charging algorithms with manual equalization to maximize system performance and improve battery life
• Configurable auxiliary output
• Two-line, 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD) and four buttons for configuration and system monitoring
• Input over-voltage and under-voltage protection, output over-current protection, and backfeed (reverse current) protection (warning and fault messages appear on LCD when unit shuts down as a protective measure)
• Over-temperature protection and power derating when output power and ambient temperature are high
• Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) included - automatically provides temperature compensated battery charging
• XanbusTM-enabled network communications protocol (developed by Xantrex)
• Communicates settings and activity to other XanbusTM-enabled devices, such as the XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger, the XW System Control Panel (XW SCP), XW Automatic Generator Start (XW AGS), and other XW Solar Charge Controllers.
• Five-year warranty
